All definitions for Chapter 1 in the Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Statistics Textbook

This is a detailed compilation of every single textbook definition for terms within GCSE Statistics Chapter 1: Collection of Data. I've taken these terms right out of the textbook: http://bit.ly/Statisics-Book, so it is 100% correct! Hope it helps!

Clues

  • A question which has a set list of suggested answers (6, 8)
  • Data that can take any value on a continuous numerical scale, eg. length, mass (10, 4)
  • Groups within classes, which do not overlap (discrete data is sorted into these), eg. 1-10, 11-20 (5, 9)
  • Involves pairs of related data, eg.age and price of cars (9, 4)
  • Involves sets of three or more data values, eg. plant colour, height and leaf size (12, 4)
  • Non-numerical observations, eg. colour, name (11, 4)
  • Numerical observations and measurements, eg. shoe size, temperature (12, 4)
  • Only the people/objects available at the time are used (11, 8)
  • The data naturally splits into groups, eg. geographical areas. The list of clusters is the sampling frame, and clusters are randomly selected to make the sample. (7, 8)
  • Variables which you may not be interested in, but could still affect your results - these must be controlled (10, 9)
